Regarding glasses in the shower? Happens a lot for folks who are extremely far-sighted like me. Anything closer than about three feet away appears to have fuzzy edges; and standard text in a book or magazine is gray blurs.

So, wearing my glasses in the shower helps me make sure I get clean, gets the glasses clean, and has the added side benefit of helping me wash my wife’s back and.. uh, nevemind! 🙂

i don’t think so… you don’t start out sweaty, in a panic, then drive to either your house (with your boyfriend) or to His house… jump into the shower AND then panic AGAIN, all the while “forgetting” the presence of said boyfriend…

no, she’s in the shower room at Punk-Yoga. After hours most likely, as she seems to have been getting ready to go home when he arrived to pick her up, and is still in the SAME panic attack, especially with her word choice of “that did not JUST happen…” and the reason she isn’t EXPECTING him to show up is BECAUSE the shower rooms are NOT unisex…. he’s in the FEMALE shower room… OOH!!! Bad Boy… he playing the Bad Cop now!…

but either way, i think that Friday’s cliff-hanger will be a full page panel with her transformed and really cramped in the shower room, with him scrunched up between her butt and the wall. also, to me it looks like a standard sized public shower room, it being one big room that has 6 or 8 shower heads on the two opposite walls, and no dividing walls to get in the way. her transforming in that sized room won’t be such a devastating event… Physically, that is… can’t say anything about his MENTAL state after the transformation though.

Well then, a lot of the kid’s Saturday morning cartoons and G-rated movies are also “porn” and “soft porn.”

We have PG-13 rated movies that show people getting blown away in graphic gory detail, and no one complains about that; yet folks get their knickers in a knot over a scene where no naughty bits are shown?

“But, but” some say, “his HANDS are TOUCHING her naughty bits” (why they hell is that euphemism used anyways? Nothing naughty about that at all)” –

Yet, at public swimming pools and beaches (where the gal – or guy – is exposing far more skin than above), at concerts, parks, WHATever; one can see folks hugging like that, and no one hassles them or calls the PDA cops or gets their knickers in a knot – except, of course, for members of some very small minorities.

Me, the above is absolutely beautifully done and didn’t even twitch libido, but DID raise one hellalot of questions that I have to wait for Monday to have (hopefully!) answered; questions that many here have already asked –

Is she fighting transforming? Is she sensing a demon within Justin? Is he one of the MIB? Is he also a sphinx – or something else? If none of the above, is she saying “Oh God” because she’s about to transform, and in that small space, that would definitely injure or kill Justin, not to mention structural damage to the whole place? Or is Paul setting up and springing yet another mind-bending and mind-melting Plot Twist on us? Most likely! THAT is where my mind went.

Perhaps I’m showing my age, but I don’t recall any saturday morning cartoons (do those even exist anymore?) or PG rated movies having a scene where a woman is naked and fingered to near-orgasm on-screen (dialogue + right hand’s fingers, Panel#3).

Just an odd thought here. Justin could turn out to be a member of MIB. A local policeman would be pefect for a listening post around Monica. He would hear the cop gossip and read the logs on strange events. Not there to interfere but to watch and listen. That would make it a lot easier for Shelly as he would be more accepting of her condition that someone else.

@Wyvern: Ohnorobot.com I good for searching the Wapsi-archives. While the links provided don’t work, they tell you the date (in this case 12/23/04) and then you can just use waspisquare.com ‘s archive and there you are.

Justin (waking up with a head bandage in the hospital): Uhn…What happaned?
Shelly: I–um, slipped and fell into you. And you knocked your head on the wall. Dented the tile, too.
Jaqui (later at Punk Yoga): Why is there a head-shaped dent in the shower ceiling??

Well. It looks like Justin is going to get “the talk” in a way I had never imagined… by demonstration. Justin has very large, strong hands… but oh, by the silken breast of Mogg’s mother, I hope he has a large, strong mind, because he’s going to need it. 😀

Technically, Rule 34 says there must already be PORN of threeways with mythical creatures and Japanese horror entities. While the existance of porn of something usually requires the existance of people who are into that thing, I’m pretty sure “If it exists, it’s someone’s fetish” is a separate rule.

I think the cliff hanger will be when he panics and runs from Sphinx Shelly, and she has to try and catch him (to explain what just happened) without hurting him before he gets out the door (which is probably too small for her).

He may be about to experience ‘Ride her cowboy”, ducks as the pun jar levitates over in his direction, “assuming that there is enough headroom.”
Sighs and pays off the pun jar until it settles down, “dang these smart household goods.”

Compared to a lot of kid’s Saturday morning cartoons, this is definitely a G; and a lot of G-rated kid’s movies (animated and live actors) show not only a lot more flesh than shown here, but also show more evocative scenes than male and female in a shower together.

I would say that this strip is generally PG-13 since there tends to be profanity and sexually suggestive dialog and no heavy nudity, (well there seemed to be some nipple on Shellinx in the Time Forest).

I can’t help but wonder from looking at the previous comic and today’s comic. What if Shelly’ reaction wasn’t from a sudden and near catastrophic loss of control but more a primal reaction to the presence of a demon hiding in her new beau?

The primary charge of the Sphinxes was the hunting down of demons (unless I’m way off base here) running loose on the prime material world correct?

Friendly hint: the Establishment is glad to establish a credit line or “tab” for Pun Jar payments, for those who may inadvertently find themselves without pocket change at the moment of doubling a meaning.

By no means. In order to honor the tradition of serving bar snacks consisting in part of pickled vegetables, the Establishment has decided to have the Pun Jar finances managed by a Credit Onion that charges much less lettuce for its services.

Yes, VERY Good hand placement. Hides all the…… “naughty bits”. Perhaps just as Shelly loses herself in the moment she feels a tranformation approaching But it goes away as she acheives…..Well lets just say she acheives and that stops the transformation. Oh and then Shelly finds out Shes Pregnant. Hows THAT for a Twist?

Except Justin looks like he’s used to her sounding like that. It’s not like she’s emitting some kind of deep subterranean growl or something. But that may be next. Hovering the mouse over the image reveals the tool tip “Human form”. If that’s not foreshadowing, I don’t know what foreshadowing is.

Cut to Punk Yoga waiting area, single large panel. Justin is reading a magazine. Question mark appears over his head at vaguely familiar sounds from the women’s shower area. (It’s all a daydream on Shelly’s part!)

Talk about taking your life into your hands.
He’s going to wake up in the flower shop next door picking thorns out of his behind.
The thought of seeing him running down the road, with Shelly chasing him looking like the game of tag she played on her motorcycle is too ironic/funny.

That’s not entirely beyond the realm of possibility. Given her relationship with Justin is no secret and given the fact she has not acted on her own to renew their mutual desires, it may be someone else already took him down the bunny hole. Someone who wanted them to get back together. Even perhaps Bud since they had become friends.

And the fist thing Justin says after Shelly becomes Shelinx and pins him against a wall is … ?

A) Since when do showers have airbags?!
B) Hold on Shelly, I’ll save you from this monster!
C) I smell wet cat.
D) I think I swallowed the condom.
E) If you didn’t want to all you had to say was “no.”
F) Mulmmm frmm rrrmmllm!
